About The Dismemberment Plan

It's been a few decades … and then some. The Washington, D.C., indie-rock band that formed all the way back in 1993 released four albums before going silent for more than a decade -- save for a brief reunion to perform a handful of benefit concerts in 2007.

But … they're baaack. The Dismemberment not only reunited long-term a few years later, but 2013's "Uncanny Valley" marked the group's first new studio album since 2001's "Change." And luckily for fans, the band's roster remains almost fully intact. It still includes Eric Axelson, Jason Caddell, Joe Easley and Travis Morrison. Only original drummer Steve Cummings left the group after the recording of their debut album.

Known for incorporating R&B and hip-hop into their sound, The Dismemberment Plan was once referred to by Pitchfork Media as the 'fathers of the dance-punk movement." Because they also play off ironic humor, their lives shows are also high-energy affairs. If you've been to one, you may have been part of the small mob invited to dance on stage during "The Ice of Boston." Their most iconic song, "Do the Standing Still," also pokes fun at fans' reluctance to move during the band's most frantic performances.

Since 2011 The Dismemberment Plan has toured the US and Japan, and in late 2013 made an appearance at the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in Camber Sands, England. They're also wicked excited to announce they're playing 2014 Coachella on April 12th and 19th in Indio, California, and at Barcelona, 56: Primavera Sound on May 31st.
